The trustees at Tallahassee Community College charged with evaluating President Jim Murdaugh needed a thesaurus to come up with additional superlatives to describe the performance of the former law enforcement official.

They even talked during a subcommittee meeting about giving Murdaugh a raise. He politely but firmly declined, pointing to a clause in his contract that says he will not see an increase in his $272,000 salary until raises are provided for all staff and faculty at TCC. That last happened in 2011, when 4-percent raises were given.
